Make sure you have the flywheel and stator off for the leakdown test, so you can inspect there.

thanks matt but it's off and that seal and area of it seems also to not be leaking? i am at a loss

the only think i can think of is the o rings in the head are not sealing right and the air is leaking out of the cooling tracts, i will have to plug those up tonight if i get time and try again?????????????????????????????? cuz the bottom of the motor had no areas with leaks either

There aren't that many places, right?
I would check the entire case circumference, every mating surface. Both crankseals
Intake gasket area
Exhaust gasket area
Base gasket area
Head


Even if you plug the cooling passages, you would still have a leak (if that's where it is), because they will be at ambient pressure, and your cylinder will be higher than that.
If you really suspect that's where it's at, take the head off and inspect the O-rings. When you put them back on, put some vaseline on them, too.

I am sure one of the site pros will chime in - surely they have experience with gremlins like this one.

i have sprayed that entire motor down with soapy water top sides seals head , spark plugs manifold mating surfaces everythin. it is the only thing i can think of.

that will suck if that's the case that my orings are bad cuz they are fairly new and i don't think i will get any before the ride this w/e, maybe i will buy some today and hope for the best
